Google Pixel 4a to undercut iPhone SE starting price with double the storage

15 May 2020
If Google can manage to sell it this cheaply, it might give iPhone SE buyers something else to consider.

Sort by:

No matter how they compete, still can't beat cheap chinese phone.

    The release delays will hurt the 4A sales.

      Julian M, 15 May 2020If this is what it takes for Google to come back down to Ea... moreThis pricing is only limited to the US where they have very few choices to choose from namely Samsung, Apple and Pixel.

      In other markets, much better phones from other manufacturers available.
      There the pixel won't be costing 400$ for base variant where it will flop as usual and more engineers will subsequently quit.

        RejZoR, 15 May 2020No Android can undercut iPhone at software support no matte... moreNobody cares about latest updates on Android.
        The 5 year update system of iOS is a giant scam. You get latest features 5 years late on an average. Android is light years ahead of iOS in terms of functionality, customizability, security and ease of use. Android from 5 years back can do things iPhone can't.

        The upcoming iOS 14 will finally get an app drawer and fully functional widgets, Lol these are things that existed on Android a decade back.

        Plus with every subsequent update, your battery and cpu are deliberately slowed down by Apple (Yes, they are paying fines for this malpractice) whereby one is forced to upgrade after a few years.

          Fitbri, 15 May 2020True but the chip set is totally fine and performs very wel... moreExactly, the 730 chipset paired with 6gb RAM will fly through in daily tasks except high end games.
          IPhone SE might play all all those high end games without frame drops but then who wants to game on tiny 4.7 inch screen where half the screen is occupied by controls.

              Sounds good. All-around balanced performance. And super camera.

                  No Android can undercut iPhone at software support no matter how hard they brag. Android support is garbage. If you really get 3 years out of it you can consider yourself very lucky. Also out of these 3 years, it usually means you're only getting 2 major Android updates and you'll be waiting months for them. One of reasons I left for iOS. Also Google's dingus handling of private data.

                      sadh, 15 May 2020Let see if Pixel 4a can compete with SE's wireless charging... moreOh and you forgot to mention its other amazing features such as be able to increase the phone temperature to 60 celcius by using it 10 minutes, can withstand 4 hours SOT at max, full charge that small capacity battery in 2 hours, no night mode even in 2020 and also the most amazing feature, slower performance after every updates.

                      I'm really glad apple recycled such a amazing phone!

                        Good news. You guys always complain about iPhone SE but don't forget that thanks to that we could end up with various decent Android midranger. So stop bashing on iPhone SE and instead hoping that more Android manufacturers star taking midranger seriously.

                          Anonymous, 15 May 2020True, but still better than iPhone SE (2020 in a shape of 2... moreThe iPhone SE is the perfect phone for those of which it's aimed for, granted it is not a phone for everyone, the first SE was which was criticized for the 4" screen at the time, people said the same things, that it was outdated and ridiculously small, it went out to be a success for apple to it's critics surprise, same will happen with the current SE, it will sell and apple critics will turn to criticize the buyers as inferior minds that are easily manipulated.

                          This phone is just another midrange android phone from an endless list which it's only appeal is it's better camera, the black Xiaomi Mi 9T looks far better made than this, similar specs but 6 gb of ram - from last year - and it's significantly cheaper. This is a totally mediocre phone that sits only the pixel brand, the camera and to a few in the rather compact size, the gamers are going to go with something bigger.

                            Damn, this price would just make Pixel 4A a winner! Google, please make it official asap.

                            iPhone SE now has a true rival!

                              If it is really priced at $299 I would consider buying it IF it has a good battery life and modern looks like Samsung's A30 series

                                sadh, 15 May 2020Let see if Pixel 4a can compete with SE's wireless charging... moreall it has to do is beat SEs tiny battery life and that outdated screen and voila. Also the camera will be flagship grade, like in Pixel 3

                                  sadh, 15 May 2020Let see if Pixel 4a can compete with SE's wireless charging... moreIf the 3a is anything to go by 4a will have stereo speakers so that seems an odd thing to give the SE.

                                  I'll take the Pixel's features in areas that actually matter any day, namely screen, battery and camera... but you do you, enjoy that processing muscle!

                                    sadh, 15 May 2020Let see if Pixel 4a can compete with SE's wireless charging... moreWhat we do know is that it will be at least 1080p not a 9-year-old 720p phone screen technology. Gosh it's even OLED not LCD. They will throw in a much larger battery so your phone actually lasts a day. A much better camera considering the hardware in the SE is of the iPhone 8 (i.e. 3-4 years old)- I remember the ads used to show the pixel 3a had better night shooting capability than the iPhone X, nevermind iPhone 8. Fast Charging adapter in the box included in the price, more RAM, and most importantly a cheaper price!

                                      MrGrumpy, 15 May 2020Not interested unless it's a small compact phone. And proba... moreIt probably is. Itll be the same size or smaller than the iPhone 11 pro

                                        The headline may say undercut price but come on, Google phones vs Apple? Are you kidding. This is why Google has like .02% market share. Not a big iphone fan but Google should stop wasting their time....
